Answer 1

BJ Penn was a student of Ralph Gracie.  And then he "dared" challenge any Gracie to a fight.  So the Gracies now think that he is an un-loyal b*****d.  This may or may not be true, because it seems as if BJ could give a **** less about a lot of things.

However, the pre-fight hype talk should partially be dissmissed because it was to pump up and promote a fight.  And I'm sure the Gracies can't really say much because BJ decisioned Renzo in that fight (Renzo usually fights middle weight 185 by the way).

Answer 2
